I have noticed this too. It is an artifact of C#'s rules for variable 
definition and usage really (admittedly triggered by ANTLR code 
generation style).

Can't see any easy way to pre-initialize arbitary variable 
declarations within the code generator so I guess I just need to add 
some specific info about it to the csharp runtime document.

Thanks,

PS    I found your "C# from a Java dev's precpective" document 
helpful. Helped with the C# codegen's development as it 
happens....  ;-)
